We, and our neighbors have wind chimes. No complaints from other neighbors. If we get complaint, the chimes will come down.

Those who love wind chimes should keep them locked indoors with the windows closed. Use a fan, if you must, to enjoy them.

Neighbors who have wind chimes outdoors simply have no concern for their neighbors. If a neighbor had wind chimes outdoors, I would be tempted to buy a huge dog and let it do its business on the wind chime neighbor's lawn.

If it makes a difference, the home is on a lot with open separation (no fence) between homes, with a pond in back. Walking trail on the left and a home on the right.

Thanks in advance for all the thoughtful responses I am about to receive. This forum is amazing.
Wind chimes are noise pollution. That is a grating noise that people have no ability to quell if the wind is rattling them. Please don’t do it. Your neighbors will appreciate you leaving them in the box unless you remove the offending noise pollution makers.

The only best answer is to bring them, but then adapt to your neighbors. You can't change TV, and to try to change TV would be even more unappreciated. However, you might find neighbors who are deaf, or you might find the chimes broken after a big thunderstorm.

One scenario is that all the neighborhood is full of snow birds, so in the summer time, you can put them out when not alot of people are around.. . . So you might get the ocassional usage.

good luck

I do not have a yes or no opinion. Recently I received a beautiful wind chime as a gift in memory of my deceased sister. A beautiful inspiration is inscribed on it with her name. I was unsure at first of hanging it. But it is protected from the elements of rain & breezes. If it does chime, it is very soft at least to me.On windy days, I have used rubber bands on the chimes to keep them quiet. Just a suggestion.

Only I hear this one. I did ask my neighbors when I moved in and only one minded. The key is to be thoughtful to your neighbors. Be connected to them so you can talk out your differences. You already seem to understand this. Welcome to TV.
That is a perfect place to hang them - in the lanai that has doors!

My wife has some wind chimes that she put on a Shepards crook in our backyard. She found them on the patio table one day and she put them back on the crook. They were back on the table again the next day. Since I’m the only other person with access to our backyard, it was obvious who took the chimes down. It didn’t take three times - the chimes have never appeared again. Darn, I hate wind chimes.
